Lots of spam

The Professional Resources and Project Management firms section apparently has spam. I will take a further look into it to see whether the whole section should stay or not. Pm master 19:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is the point of this article?

What does this article have that the Project management page doesn't? DCDuring 20:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In Project Management - especially Engineering and Construction; Scheduler is a six Figure Career. Specifically Primavera based Gantt schedules typically hold all the budget, materials, staff, payment milestones, and potentially document control for a multi year multi billion dollar contract; typically with several schedulers developing and maintaining an integrated prject schedule between the client, engineering contractor, OEM, construction contractor, and primary vendors and subcontractors.

On a multi billion dollar EPC job; it's likely to have a dozen schedulers representing many different companies all making better than $50 an hour; many of whom will have PMI or AACE certifications maintaining the project schedule over several years.

This is not just a Microsoft project schedule common in internal business improvement projects, IT, or consulting. Scheduling can be a simple as a 10 man hour budget with a One week deadline; to a billions of dollars over a decade tracking the activities of several thousand workers from dozens of companies building things like Bridges, Dams, and Power Plants. A Gantt Schedule utilizing critical path method integrated with a WBS and earned value system maintained by staff with AACE certification is the requirement for many large scale federal contracts; be it a highway, NASA Rocket, military base or Submarine.

Given time and interest from the scheduling community; this article should be expanded to a holistic understanding of the subject and career field of project scheduling. There are multiple books on the subject to reference, and multiple professional societies that develop, document, and maintain the state of the art. It just a matter of getting subject matter experts to take the time to contribute and cite references.
